Some more shots from earlier as it looks like the fire spread to balconies on the nearby “The Assembly” building.

A really positive announcement after both @Lisa_Smart and I wrote to the Secretary of State about this crisis. However, we need action not words.

Stepping Hill needs funding immediately, this cannot, and must not, be a sticking plaster exercise.

My respect for GPs quadrupled when I worked as FY2 on GP Placement.

This is what I witnessed.

- GPs had excellent knowledge base which was wider than any specialist and they were keeping that up to date with ever changing guidelines and protocols.

- GPs had a constant flow of patients, requests from patients, investigations follow ups and paperwork from hospital. Even in their lunch breaks they were sorting out letters from the hospitals.

- Due to delays in the hospital appointments and time between the specialist clinics reviews, GPs were often sorting out the patients in between by trying to keep the symptoms under control and monitoring for any red flags.

- GPs had a real presence in the local community and the local care homes, elderly patient and vulnerable group of patients saw them as problem solvers. GPs were getting to the patients who couldn’t come to the surgeries.

- GPs were working with the ethos of keeping patients well in the community and trying to keep them out of hospital and secondary care as much as possible.

- One urgent secondary care referral could delay GP surgery by 30-60 min, but yet they were managing that time very well and finishing their clinics without any cancelations.

The dedication and commitment I saw in primary care was incredible and this experience was back in 2007-2008.

Primary care is the front line of health care and investment, and attention should focus on them as making larger hospitals doesn’t always help the flow of patient if the primary care is struggling.

@MJA9622 the 8 month alternate week placements. Because 3 days a fortnight on a particular specialty doesn't seem enough to learn consistently for me, at least compared to peers....

[Oskar Schmidt-Hansen @oschmidthansen]

@MJA9622 I've really liked the GP aspect of the programme, well supported, more intimate team work than hospital jobs, but I've been set on 8 month placement in hospital with alternating weeks between specialties which has been fragmented for learning... I think they've been stopping

To all young women leaping up and down with 4 A* about to start medicine - congratulations. We see you. We have your back. You have a right to expect your career to be free of sexual harassment and assault. There may be some tough times ahead but these should not add to that.

Did I plan to wake up at 7AM after the first day of my first Manchester pride? No.... But I did see the Cheeky Girls so there's a life goal fulfilled before the weekend has even really begun...

With some trepidation, an update from me:

I've launched a podcast!

Motivated by the woes of Twitter, I've decided to make an old podcast idea happen at last. So, please lend your ears to 'A Language I Love Is...'!
